How to Upgrade Items in New World Aeternum

[@Granulomacure]

You should touch on the subject for crafting. "above item's max azoth" is a subject that confuses a lot of people when they reach mythril/dark leather gear. "Why cant I make x Ilevel gear legendary..." And then having to require shards, matrixes, inductors, etc.. Where to get all these things... A real up to date and in depth crafting guide would be sweet. Keep up the good work 👍

[@3Eccho]

100% agree, we need an up to date crafting guide, can we still craft 725 gear? Do we need to shematic from the raid or can we still craft?

[@ChellyTilly]

Facts I’m a returning player and am scared to waste mats on crafting 😅 haven’t found a good enough video guide

[@piktasniekas8124]

Legendary ranges are 600-625 (cheap) and 675+ (expensive). Just don't craft anything in the 626-674 range and you won't be wasting resources too much. Craft 600-625 stuff for arena/opr and 700 for everything else. 725 crafting is only possible with the schematics from raid. The schematics themselves are so rare that they're easily worth 1M+ gold, so if anyone even sells one, you probably won't be able to afford it (and if you do hit the jackpot in your raid run, you probably should not sell it either, unless you don't plan or can't afford to craft 725 gear to sell).

Your content helped me so much as a new "world" player. Especially the little things which the game doesnt tell you or just experienced player know. Keep it up. The console players need you 😊

[@davide9495]

I didn't even know you could upgrade non-artefact items. This is something I really hate about NW. There is so much the game doesn't even mention once. Many systems are confusing and probably created by a junior designer on their first day. Absolutely great video, almost essential for a new player. Thank you.

[@thomasnielsen4768]

This whole system just highlights that AGS never had a defined gear progression system. Change after change have left everything with a convoluted and confusing system, that just isn't bad but also unintuitive. For the next big gear system update they make (Next expansion?) they should just make ALL current pieces of gear invalid, and introduce a new GOOD and fleshed out system that is scalable for the future in a way that makes it easy to both use and understand.

[@Fearfulodds]

No evidence that this game isnt in management mode. If they weren't just milking the players with a relaunch then you'd think a road map would already be out. So expecting any real system reworks is just prepping for disappointment.

[@Ch0p-69]

[@jamescook1092]

good vid, one correction is needed though: using featherweight artifact with the frigid dawn set you can have 2 pieces (not 1) and still be a light build. Head and then either gloves or boots is optimal

Ahh this cleared up a question I ran into. I farmed a shield for my tank because it had some really good perks. But I could not upgrade it so it must have been under the level cap.

[@gnome12585]

thanks for the info Baggins. I was wondering how the upgrades worked in new world.

[@lmcgnlztable]

What about crafter? Can you talk about that as well? I am leveling armor skill, but not sure what it takes to craft 725 gear (can I roll with 2 perker with less resource, or more resource with 3 perk BIS)???

[@Dethoxfu]

Could you cover/experiment how to change the perks on an already upgraded 725 Artifact item? Does the non-coconut recipe downgrade it to 700? Does it stay 725? Do you need to spend a coconut every time you want to change a perk on an artifact?

[@Mr.Meesters]

Can you make a guide on territory standing? As in the most efficient or quickest methods. It takes so long and I wonder if I'm doing anything wrong or if I'm oblivious to some mechanic etc.

[@RISINTECH]

Thank you ! I finally understand how the upgrade works ! So 700 gs for armor is pretty decent ?

[@JayDay32]

Question. When I take my Odo to upgrade it has 2 lines, one for 700 and one for 725. If I do the 700 one can you still do the 725 one in the future. Is there any benefit of doing both? Or should I wait to get a coconut and only do the 725 one.

[@DownHillSkateTime]

Came looking for this answer too! Am I missing out on something if I skip the 700 upgrade and go straight to 725? Can’t believe this baggins guy didn’t go over this?

[@nathanalan9944]

Thank you for the video. I was waiting for this one.

[@sethfake4946]

Thx a lot man , u answered to many my question I started play week ago

[@ardenyt2435]

What is the difference between upgrading an artifact normally or upgrading it using a gorgonite inductor?

[@dbspurge]

Great video but I do have a question- I have two inventories full of Named items I have collected - most of them I would never use but I kept them “just in case” I ever needed them. Should I just go ahead and break them down now since I won’t be able to get them to 725 or do we think AGS will change their minds on named items ? Thank you !

[@mallusdarkblade]

A 700 GS item with 3 great perks are better than a 725 GS item with bad perks. The only time I would break down those 700 GS items is if you have a 725 GS with better perks to replace it with.

[@JonesBeiges]

How will you ever get your hands on multiple weapon matrix anyway? Title should be how to get a matrix lol

[@CabeGiuseppe]

Thanks to this video, I learned something. I can't see the difference between the real thing and the fake one, so I just buy the fake one. But if you want to buy it in the future, it is better to invest in the real thing. But now I am still considering buying a fake one within the budget. I have been waiting for kislux for a long time.

[@ThePedge]

Do you have a video on gems, what to use on weapons/armour and when? Love the content.

[@mallusdarkblade]

Most use Onyx/Opals for armor and Opal for weapons (or diamond for healers). You can use specific ones to resist slash/thrust if those damage types are more prevalent in pvp, but then you're vulnerable to all other damage types. Of course there are also runeglass versions for rich people. I run 5 Onyx and 3 Opals as a lifestaff healer because I find physical damage more oppressive.

[@itslyfee]

Use NWDB

[@JPearson88]

Hi baggins im a returning player so im new to the gypsom mechanic. So you only upgrade the items now you dont upgrade the slot im i understanding that right ?

[@nathanav1634]

I don't see any of the items to craft (not my own items to upgrade, the items like Pauldrons of Frigid Dawn) just 6 items at the top and then the heargem upgrades. Do you need to be 250 in a tradeskill or something (I have no tradeskills). I suspect im bugged 😕

I just starting the coin grind and I’ve saved a number of named legendaries for this purpose. But a lot of them don’t have the option to upgrade even thought they are named and above level 60. Examples are Oversized Hedge Trimmer, Bonesaw and Fallen Olympian. At least for me they have no upgrade option at the kiln. Made sure they aren’t locked and aren’t equipped. 😢

[@davidliang5630]

When we are changing perks, are we only changing the 3rd perk or can we choose to change any one of the 3 perks?

can u change perk on it ones u upgraded it? i mean if i upgrade my weap with keen jagged and later im like nahh i want keen crit can i go back and change it if i add the materials again? or ill have to farm a new weap to do this? this is the only part i dont understand, if i can change the 3rd perk all the time or ones i did it its done for ever.

[@PerzyYT]

how do people get Augmented gems? I don't see them in the trading post, I'm stuck with Opals but I want something for a nature bow build

[@scottcunni]

I wish AGS would simplify upgrading gear easier in that they should put an indicator on a piece of gear/weapon showing it can be upgraded. You get so much gear its overwhelming at times and also needing to have the item in your inventory or not being worn at the time is sort of odd, why can't you store an item in a storage shed in the same town as the kiln and able to see if that item is upgradable ? or standing at the kiln and I have a ring or amulet on and being able to see if I can upgrade it then either go get the item out of storage or unslot the item and upgrade it ?

[@TM55894]

So I had a question, I’m just now lvl 65. All the stuff I got that is below like 60 level requirement, is it worth keeping? If not, sell or salvage?

[@piktasniekas8124]

Just don't salvage Deckhand's promotion earring as you won't be able to ever get it again and it's a very strong 'illegal' (it's an earring with weapon gem in it) item. You can't upgrade it from it's 500 gear score or add a 3rd perk, but even then it's an earring worth using in some situations. As a rule of thumb, just keep anything 'illegal' unless you know you can get it again.

[@grez2699]

There are other ways to get 725 outside of the raid. Coconut from the pvp island, the 3 epic crates for dublooms (3 per day), artifacts that drop in the open world and pvp reward track, chest from opr/arena (1 per week). Also a good 3 perk 700 gs is better than a crap perk 725 gs item
